Because when you sell your cd used you give up ownership of it and the person
who buys it takes up that ownership. Ripping that same cd to mp3 and freely
distributing it is a world apart.
No different then buying a piece of software, cracking it, and then bartering
with the crack for other cracked software.
Honestly its hard not to do so ever. At least for me. I just try to be as
moralistic about it as possible. Always pay when i can. If i cant afford
all the music i want then the bigger labels wont be getting my money but
smaller joe's like you or me. Its still wrong and i guess thats my
justification for it, but at least i am being honest.

how do people who are against filesharing feel about buying used CD's -
since the artist makes no money on that sale?
